Etymology

The common word "Zoran" comes from the zoranian word, sowani, which is of unknown origin and meaning. The first appearance of the use of the word sowani in written record dates back to 400 BF. Before this, Aniyvwiyai'i was used to refer to the ancient Empire of Zoran before the Markan conquest.

Government and Politics

The government operates under the framework laid out under the Constitution of the Kingdom of Zoran, which establishes the country as a semi-constitutional monarchy with a representative unicameral parliamentary system. The monarch wielding significant executive power—which they can exercise on their own or through their ministers—and presides over the Council of State. 

The Zoranian parliament, the Dikahnawadvsdi Aninotlvsgi Iyunadai (often referred to as the Iyunadai), is responsible for adopting the state's budgets, approving the state's accounts, exercising control of the Government, and taking part in international co-operation. Bills may be initiated by the Government or by members of the Iyunadai. All bills passed must be presented before the Council of State to receive Royal Assent within thirty days in order to become law.

The Iyunadai has, as of 1424, 1492 members (dikahnawadvsdi anotlvsgi) elected to represent multi-seat constituencies under the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. The number of members is based on a population ratio decided by the Iyunadai with the constitution requiring the number of members be fixed at no less than one member for each thirty thousand of the population, or at more than one member for each twenty thousand of the population. This ratio makes the Iyunadai the largest legislature and the most representative legislature in Esferos. Parliamentary elections are held at least every four years, but the monarch has the power to call for elections before the time has elapsed.

Economy

For most of modern history, Zoran has been considered a corporate capitalist economy with very little regulation on the national or local level. But with the end of the Zoranian Revolution in 1421, a major shift occurred in the Zoranian economy. In recent years, Zoran has a mix of a market socialist and social market economy characterized by sizeable government involvement in the economy, labour-managed firms, a highly skilled labour force, and diversified sectors. Zoran is a It has the third-largest economy in Aura by PPP-adjusted GDP, which is also the world's sixth largest economy by PPP-adjusted GDP. The country's service sector contributes 60.3% of the total GDP, industry 30.1%, and agriculture 2% as of 1424. The unemployment rate published by the Zoranian Department of Labour amounts to 4.2% as of January 1424.

Despite disruptions in recent years and the restructuring and divestment of companies in Zoran due to the revolution, the country is among one of the biggest exporters and importers in the world. The Zoranian economy is dominated by workers cooperatives that are labour managed, many of these being corporations that underwent the Co-op Transition Program which started back in 1422. Zoran's main exports are high technology, semi-conductors, electronics, machinery, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, renewable energy, and appliances. The Zoranian semi-conductor industry in particular is among one of the most advanced in the world, being among the most competitive and innovative in the world. 

Zoran is also home to a variety of unique industries that are not found anywhere else due to its unique climate and ecology. Zoran is the home to the sericum aranea, the Zoranian Silk Spider, which is found only in Zoran. The spider silk industry is one of Zoran's oldest industries producing silk that is among one of the highest quality in the world. Over the past two centuries, with the rise of cheaper and quickly manufactured textiles, the industry has shrunk and has remained unindustrialized due to the very careful and specific practices needed to harvest the silk from the spiders that have not been successful to industrialization. In recent years, the Zoranian government has provided subsidies and official artisan certification to spider silk producers and tailors in Zoran to preserve this industry and others like it while also cracking down on fake spider silk production. Another unique industry is the cultivation of the Zoranian strand of gossypium barbadense, gvhnage gadohi island cotton.
